Applying filtering in the GET request

[csaparna]

Hi, I could not find an example of using filtering fields on the GET request. Could you please provide an example of using a field starting with "has_" with its boolean output in a GET request?

My example request url is:

url  = 'https://api.lens.org/scholarly/search?token='+token+'&size=100&query=NLRP3'\
                                                            '&has_clinical_trial=true'\
                                                            '&include=source.title,lens_id,clinical_trials'\
                                                            '&sort=desc(date_published)'
r =requests.get(url)
r.content

I get a response without any error for this request. However, it neither filters for having clinical trial, nor includes the clinical trial field in any of the records returned. I am sure that there are records with clinical trial for this query since they are visible through the lens website.

Hello,

Thank you for this question and for reporting this issue.

You can include the boolean field as part of the GET request query e.g. NLRP3 AND has_clinical_trial:true to filter your results. E.g. https://api.lens.org/scholarly/search?token={YOUR-TOKEN}&size=100&query=NLRP3%20AND%20has_clinical_trial:true&include=source.title,lens_id,clinical_trials&sort=desc(date_published)

I hope this helps, thanks again for reporting the issue.
